For those wondering, this was the lowest rated show in just shy of 20 years.
Something's gotta give here. It's not enough that Raw is still USA's highest rated program. They paid for something very specific from WWE, and they're not getting it, period. They should be on Vince's ass about this, and in response, Vince should have the balls to stand up to them and say "three hours is terrible for our business."
Brock Lesnar doesn't draw anymore. John Cena doesn't draw anymore. Roman Reigns sure as hell doesn't draw, and never did.

It's not the talent. There is plenty of that. Nothing interesting ever happens on the show anymore. I rarely make it past the 2nd hour when I do watch now. It's the same thing every time. You miss half the matches due to commercials, the awful camera work, the same people fighting each other each week in overbooked tag and six man tag matches that will fight each other at the PPV. It's extremely predictable, formulaic, and poorly orchestrated. It sucks because unlike the 90's, the talent is there across the roster.

It is a chore to watch 3 hours of wrestling in one night, even when it is good. It's just too long. This week, I watched maybe 15 minutes of the show. Chose to watch the Cubs game instead.

My main reasons why I don't really watch Raw anymore are these....
Same formula weekly. Starting out with an interview of some kind in the ring?!?! Creative! That only happens every week on here.
The horrible shaking of the camera and zoom in/zoom out deal. It ruins it for me. Its been going on for years and it just gets worse now.
Same matches constantly. With having so much talent, how can you possibly always have the same matches take place that take place at the PPV??
No creative story lines. Say what you want about the Attitude Era, but they all had story lines happening. And story lines that made you invested in the programming. Now, we don't have that all. Seeing guys wrestle each other weekly on the fact that they are feuding isn't enough.
Thankfully I have ROH to watch. They somehow get it right.

Topics that need to be addressed by WWE concerning the state of Monday Night Raw:
-Cut it down to 2 hours
-Cut it down to 2 announcers (one of them GOTS TO GO.)
-STOP shaking the camera so violently. It is like the cameraman has a disability or something
-6 Man Tags need to be temporarily retired for the time being
-Get Stephanie off TV completely
-Never under any circumstance have a wrestler sing on air, never. Stop it.
-Give the live crowd something to cheer over and get excited about. It is like a library every week
-Do SOMETHING with Roman. He basically holds the title in his hands. That is it. He does NOTHING.
-Kevin Owens needs to stop sounding like a 5th grader with his insults. Idk if he is trying to hard to pick up the slack when it comes to lack of personality on the show, but sometimes he just sounds like he is trying too hard. He is too talented to be portrayed on TV like that.
-Any wrestler above the age of 40 get off the screen. Thanks. (Goldust, Truth, Kane, Show, Henry, etc.)
-Have backstage segments outside of the interview area and McMahon office. It gets so tiresome.
-Turn on the lights so you can see the crowd. Attitude Era and RA Era looked so lively and fun because you could see the audience.
-If someone obviously sucks on the mic, don't give them one (Cesaro, Roman, etc.)
That's all I can think of right now. That's atleast what I personally see wrong with the show.
